Yep yep yep.
I've had to fight numerous battles with my boss, along the lines of, "I don't care who scheduled the meeting, I already have plans tonight, and it's not reasonable to make me change them with no notice."
This mentality has turned out to be (a) well worth it for my marriage, and (b) not actually a big deal in the scheme of things.
- mrguyorama 9y ago>" I already have plans tonight, and it's not reasonable to make me change them with no notice." I find the fact that you even feel you need to include this part disgusting. I'm paid for 40 hours a week. You are not required to pay me overtime. You do not get a second extra of my time
- ghettoimp 9y agoWell, yes. I am salaried, and they do pay me well, so I'm willing to work more than 40 hours from time to time, when schedules are tight. I think that for me, my criteria for being OK with more-than-40 are probably something like: (0) it had better not be that much more than 40, (1) it had better not be an exception, not the rule, and (2) it had better be something I can plan for, so I'm not jerking around my family/friends.

If I can generally set my own hours, and you give me a ton of vacation time, pay me well, and give me other good incentives just for working there, I'm much more likely to put in a few extra hours every now and then if something comes up.
